Camp Marland (Ages 5-12)
The Sanford Springvale YMCA summer camps offer a safe, fun, supervised experience. It is our goal to provide your child with a summer filled with memorable moments. Our “Character   Development” program focuses on the core values of Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility which helps to build a positive environment for each participant to succeed.  Our camp staff create a nurturing environment that fosters relationships and builds friendships.  We offer a mix of programs that allows every child to experience a variety of activities to meet their creative and active interests. All of our summer camps provide different activities based on age, appropriate curriculum and since we offer a program for children ages 5-12, there is surely a good fit for your child here!

Preschool Camp & Camp Marland are located on the wooded campus of the Sanford-Springvale YMCA and encircled by the Mousam Way Trail and Mousam River.  Our camp environment provides outdoor space for adventure and exploration, while also allowing necessary indoor space so campers may take cover on rainy or extremely hot days.
